The use 'being' and 'be'

0 Hi, i cant seem to understand the usage between 'being' and 'be'. For example: As a child i was always 'being' the naughtiest one at school, or, As a child i was always 'be' the.......? 02br
00Another question, i read this adv few days ago, it said "It is a great pleasure to introduce our company being membership agent since for years and focused entirely on buy/sell/rent/ investment of golf club...... blah blah blah.....the sentence sounds strange to me yet i cant figure out where the mistakes are, or it is perfectly well written? How about this, "It is a great pleasure to introduce our company being a membership for years and has been focusing entirely on buying, selling and renting investment of golf club? 02br
00Anyone please tell me? Thanks 0-

" "Being" is used in this sentence because the speaker is referring to a state that was ongoing. As for your other sentence, "It is a great pleasure to introduce our company being membership agent since or years and focused entirely on buy/sell/rent/investment of golf club" it is not coherent at all and strongly needs a rewrite in order to state its message more clearly. In your other sentence, "It is a great pleasure to introduce our company" is coherent but everything after it ("being a membership for years and has been focusing entirely on buying, selling and renting investment of golf club") is also needs to be rewritten more coherently.

I suppose you could say, "I was always being the naughtiest one at school," but you could very well omit the "being" and just say, "I was always the naughtiest one at school." "Being" is used in this sentence because the speaker is referring to a state that was ongoing.

As for your other sentence, "It is a great pleasure to introduce our company being membership agent since or years and
